Come join us for a slice of Americana with a helping of conservative politics on the side.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

I hope all have had a joyous holiday, I did, a BBQ with some friends and neighbors. I smoked a pork shoulder roast and cooked some fresh green beans picked this morning, my buddy brought some babyback ribs that we slow cooked as well. The neighbors grilled up some steaks, fried some squash, also fresh picked this morning, and made some smacking macaroni salad. Everything was awesome and the Goat ate too much so here's to ya! Cheers and enjoy the fireworks!

PS: This is my favorite holiday! Have fun , be safe and remember to aim the bottle rockets below the shoulders or is that even allowed anymore? We used to have major battles all summer on the lake, one team in the skiff and mobile the other on the dock or party barge with fixed cover. A typical assault from the water would be a barrage of rockets followed by water balloons as they tried to retaliate, great teenage fun. Cain't have fun like that anymore, nope, we might get hurt. To heck with it, go have some fun and let freedom ring.

This one is good they end with a medley of the Military Hymns finishing with "The Halls of Montezuma" how fitting!.

Founder"s Quote

Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity to bow the knee, supplicate the friendship, and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war, to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"- Samuel Adams

"It is in vain, sir, to extentuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"---Patrick Henry
